I'm pretty sure I've got a 7.03 that works ok.  The serial cable is
connected to a 5100 at the moment, and I'm at home so I can't double
check...

The install kernel on in pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/5100test on ftp.netbsd.org
has some changes for 5100 console support that _may_ affect the 3100,
but I don't have a headed 3100 to test them on...

Jonathan - that 1.4.1ish kernel doesn't boot on a 5100, and the wbflush
routine matches -current.  Other than that and the serial console, was
there anything else that needed updating?

Simon - at home with the flu again :-(
